I've just bought a used Jumbo Transit fitted with security roller shutters inside the back and side doors, and deadbolts in the cab doors. Apparently the previous owner used to transport guns and ammunition. I didn't go looking for one like that - I just liked the look of it anyway.

What 'sensitive' loads have you carried yourself?

I was thinking of having the shutters removed as it seemed pointless carrying around extra weight in the hope I might need it someday. But then again they're aluminium so it's probably not a great deal of weight. I'll put it on the weigh-bridge when I get it.

Hey Tigz,

But yea if you check the limitations on your g.i.t ie what your not allowed to carry an asking as the value isn't higher than your cover then

You should be fine
